making a master cd and duplicating it

I want to produce a documentary cd on a historical subject that includes a slide show with jpgs and music. What inexpensive program(s) do I need and how do I make a master. Can i use a cd burner to make a limited number of copies? I have made copiesof cd on a cd burner with Easy Cd
Creator software and some people can’t read the cd copies. What can I do to produce a copy that everyone can read and that can be duplicted in quantity.
